5:2 Diet Curried Parsnip Soup

November 18, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 28 Comments

Curried Parsnip Soup

Curried Parsnip Soup for the 5:2 Diet. I didn’t plan to write this recipe for curried parsnip soup up on London-Unattached nor was I doing a 5:2 diet fast day when I made it, but when I was busy eating it yesterday for lunch and tweeting (yes I know…it’s sad!) three people asked me how […]

Low Calorie Spaghetti Bolognese

Cutting Calories for the 5:2 Diet – Spaghetti Bolognese: I’m back in the UK after a couple of trips abroad and on the 5:2 diet trying to lose some of the weight I’ve gained and to continue to lose a bit more.  For me, restarting a diet is the hardest time, so I try my […]

Total Greek Sea Bream - served

A Greek Recipe for the 5:2 Diet and some Hellenic Memories: My first visit to Greece was a shock. I was on a Schools Cruise – in the 1970s some of the cruise liners used to rent out space in the bows of the ship to school groups. We flew from London to Athens into […]

Low Calorie Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

Quick, Easy Low-Calorie Sweet and Sour Chicken for the 5:2 Diet: A little while ago I was sent a sample of Truvia, a natural sweetener that is almost zero calorie.  The idea was supposed to be that I could cook with it, but when I checked, I found I’d been sent small sachets, the sort […]

Diet Leek and potato soup

Diet Leek and Potato Soup Recipe – comfort food from my childhood: Every weekend that I am in London I wander over to the Farmers’ Market at Oval.  My first stop is always the same.  I go to the first farm stall to buy chicken carcasses – 4 for a pound.  I boil them up […]

The 5-2 Diet and Me

December 26, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 10 Comments

tom yum soup 5-2 diet

The 5-2 Diet – a Lifestyle Choice? When Michael Mosley’s Horizon TV programme about the 5-2 Diet first aired, some months ago now I watched, fascinated.  Many of the diet and nutrition ideas I’d grown up with, like eating three balanced meals a day and never eating less than 1000 calories a day, seemed to […]

5:2 Diet Recipe Chicken, Aubergine and Chickpea Lebanese Style

November 20, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 23 Comments

chicken and aubergine stew with spices of Lebanon

A Lebanese Pantry used for a 5:2 Diet recipe: OK, I’ll admit there’s a bit of calculated cooking going on here.  I’ve been intending to enter Bethady Kedy’s competition to win a trip to The Lebanon for a while, and I needed to blog about something Lebanese as part of my entry.  But, I’m also […]

Poached Chicken with Wild Garlic Pesto – a 5:2 Diet Recipe

September 17, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 6 Comments

5-2 diet recipe Poached chicken with wild garlic

Poached Chicken with Wild Garlic Pesto – Making Diet Food Tasty The healthiest of food can suddenly turn into something rich and calorific quite easily. Butter and cream based sauces will simply blow the calorie allowance for a 5:2 diet fast day – and frying, even in healthy olive oil, can wreck any attempt at […]

A More Mindful Diet with the Mindful Chef

September 12, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 8 Comments

Lemongrass Trout 2

Lemongrass trout with coconut lime rice recipe: As a keen cook who lives by herself, I never really considered recipe boxes.  But, as it happens, The Mindful Chef does have recipe boxes for one.  I believe they are the only recipe box company that offers boxes for a single person – so, I was able […]

The Mindful Chef – Red Pesto Fish Skewers

Fish skewers in Red Pesto

Healthy Food to Cook at Home – the Mindful Chef  Red Pesto Fish Skewers: I love the idea of recipe boxes as a way of inspiring people to cook new dishes.  There are various bits of research which suggest most of us never cook more than 9 recipes on a regular basis.  Think about it. […]
